Description
The 2019 Oude Nektar is a captivating Bordeaux-style blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. This exceptional vintage has a regal elegance, with aromatics of rose petals, violets, blackberries, raspberries, and a hint of smoky embers. On the palate, it balances a vibrant core of earthy black currant and black cherry fruits with silky, soft tannins. The wine is full-bodied yet light on its feet, with a harmonious finish of bright acidity and saline nuances. Maturation for 20 months in 300-litre French oak barrels (65% new) further enhances the wine’s precision, depth, and complexity.
Food Pairing: Ideal for grilled red meats, lamb, and game.
